All three Indian singles players have been in sensational form in the last six month and they showed their preparedness in taking on the best. Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty transformed into one of the fiercest doubles teams while Kidambi Srikanth, HS Prannoy and Lakshya Sen proved their mettle on the world badminton circuit.

Talent combined with strong teamwork is the perfect recipe for success.
Heartiest congratulations to Lakshya Sen, Chirag Shetty, Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and HS Prannoy for making history today.#ThomasCup
